The PC is fantastic; however, ROG does not have a version of this PC with 2TB internal storage. This posting is incorrect, as the computer is only built and sold with 1TB. Thinking this was a mistake, I returned the PC for a new one, thinking it would come with 2TB, but it didn't.
The staff at my BestBuy helped me return and order the same PC again, and it was on sale for $200 less when I reordered it, so it was a small win...
This PC is a great value on sale; however, do not be fooled into thinking it has 2TB of storage.

It looks good, graphic card is good 4070 super enough to run all the games, and does not lag at all. On ultra settings can push 120 fps on beamng in certian maps, keyboard and mouse are pretty good quality, surprisingly , comes with all the cables and connections and you get separate antenna for Wi-Fi. Good connection.

ASUS ROG is a solid Pre-built PC Option

I’ve always got a computer being worked on in my office, either a desktop being built or a laptop under repair. Often helping friends with their first custom build, so I don’t normally go for pre-built PC’s due to cost and choice of configurations. But Asus has tempted me with their new refresh of the ROG Gaming Desktop, using the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super and Intel i7 14th gen. I was in search of a reasonably priced desktop PC for a friend that wouldn’t need any tweaking to get working nor assembly.
Pros:
- Powerful, like top 99% of all PC’s out there.
- Slim tower with plenty of added features.
- Future upgrade options.
Cons
- Limited Storage capacity expansion. Only one 2.5 drive slot on bottom of case.
Packaging was very well done, everything fit perfectly within the box, with a special wrap for the PC itself to protect from dust and particles while shipping. The case Asus chose for this PC is a slightly slimmer than average mid ATX tower. 4 USB's on top, 2 USB A and 2 USB C. Additionally, a headphone and mic jack, which is a nice touch not always seen these days. The side of the case has a headset hook built in. Asus went light on the RGB lighting, opting to include a LED strip on the front panel and LED light string around the inside of the case rather than separate RGB on the components. It's not as eye catching as other designs but still screams "I AM A GAMING PC" enough.
Setup was standard with Windows 11, but the wonderful thing about Asus is there being a lack of bloatware. One of my biggest complaints with pre-built PC’s is the amount of bloatware pre-loaded onto the PC, which then requires a clean install of windows before you can even use it. But ASUS did it right, with only Armor Crate and MyAsus preinstalled. Armor Crate is a must have for updating the firmware and controlling the devices on your computer such as lights or fans. MyAsus makes registering and raising any warranty requests easy.
Another thing Asus did right on this Gaming Desktop is the specs on paper! I got the Asus ROG Desktop model G16CHR-I7KF4070SVR which has an MSRP of $1,750 USD and specs that are at the high-end for Gaming PCs in 2024. For a CPU, this model had the Intel Core i7 14700KF (20 Cores with 8 Performance and 12 Efficient cores, 28 Threads) running an Asus AIO. For the GPU, this model has an Asus branded Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super, which is the newest refresh of the 4000 series. RAM is started at 32GB of DDR5 running at 5600MHz (PC5-44800), with 2 of 4 slots populated and a maximum RAM limit of 64GB. Storage wise, this has 2 x 1TB NVMe drives Western Digital SN560, these are slightly slower drives than the newest out there with only 4.3 GB/s Read and 3.1 GB/s write, but that should be plenty for playing some games. This is all powered by a 750 watt 80 plus gold PSU, in the box included are additional power plugs if you end up needing them for future upgrades or add ons.
With all this goodness on paper, the only downside of this whole build is that there are limited upgrade options for storage space. The case seems to have one 2.5in drive slot on the bottom, at least that I could see. So otherwise, the only options are to upgrade the underwhelming NVMe drives, which isn’t really a bad choice either.
I use PassMark Performance Test to benchmark my PC’s, currently using version 11.0 build 1013 for testing the Asus ROG Desktop. This model scored in the 99th Percentile, with a score of 13754.6, which basically means this PC is better than 99% of the computers tested. Though there are plenty of other tests out there, in the end the only good test is a real test. So, to the Game Play tests.
I tested out two games I am currently rotating between, Fortnite and Helldivers 2. I play with a resolution of 2K, and most settings set to High, I disable motion blur and bloom effects as I don’t enjoy how they look. With these settings, I was averaging 110 FPS on both games. I did hit some FPS drops into the high 80’s and peaks up near 135 FPS, but the averages during normal gameplay was around 110 FPS. With some tweaking, you could easily average 120 FPS at 2K on most games. Your results may vary from game to game and monitors used. Overall, this will be more than enough PC for my friends to use, maybe even too much!
One of the benefits of a desktop over a laptop is the ability to upgrade in the future. The Asus ROG has 2 open RAM slots, 2 occupied M.2 slots, and 6 SATA ports. Though before you go slotting in 2 more RAM sticks, you might want to check the compatibility, as most motherboards these days only support 4 sticks of DDR5 running below 5200MHz. In general, it is better to run only 2 sticks of RAM at the Total RAM amount you want to take advantage of the faster DDR5 speeds.
I would recommend this as a great bang for your buck prebuilt if you don’t want to go through the hassle of a custom build or need something you can pick up and plug in today. Especially if you have any Best Buy Rewards or discounts to take advantage of, then this is an amazing offer! The only con I could find on this pre-built is the storage options and included NVMe drives, but that can be resolved by upgrading the 2 NVMe drives to larger capacity drives in the future. I will be considering the Asus ROG Desktop line as a possible solution for future custom builds!

Like other buyers, this one lacks an integrated graphics card, meaning a few HDMI ports on this computer will not work. Besides that, this is a beast—the best budget PC on the market. I am delighted with this purchase.

Top Fans make Clicking Noise repeatedly

Purchased this very nice pre-built last week. I've had it operational for about 5 days now. Everything runs smooth, however I have noticed the top fans make a clicking noise which is quite annoying. If you are hyper sensitive to noises like me, this can make or break your enjoyment. I tried inspecting the fans to see if maybe a screw was loose but I could not diag/repair the issue. Hopefully Geek Squad or the OEM can address the issue and fix. Until then, my rating will stay at a 2/5.
Other than the clicking noise the fans make, the machine is quite nice. The speed & performance is dialed in. Aesthetically pleasing. For the content and gaming I do, I would recommend the build.
